The Duchess of Cambridge is renowned for her competitive spirit and love for sports, as shared by royal family member Mike Tindall. Tindall, who is married to Zara Tindall, cousin of Prince William, disclosed that Kate enjoys participating in the party game beer pong but opts for ‘prosecco pong’ at royal gatherings instead.
The former England rugby player, who is the son-in-law of Princess Anne, mentioned engaging in beer pong with Kate, a game involving tossing ping pong balls into cups filled with alcohol. He also highlighted the spirited atmosphere at royal events.
In an interview with Woman & Home magazine, Tindall emphasized the prevalent competitiveness in the royal family, particularly their shared love for sports. He humorously recalled witnessing Kate’s intense nature during a game of beer pong, which often transitions to prosecco pong.
This isn’t the first time Tindall has spoken about Kate’s involvement in beer pong. In a previous podcast episode featuring Prince William and Princess Anne, the topic resurfaced, with Kate playfully denying her competitive streak while Tindall reiterated his observations of her enthusiasm for beer pong.
Tindall also humorously compared his wedding to Zara, Queen Elizabeth II’s granddaughter, to other events, making a lighthearted jab at Prince Harry’s transition to a more reserved lifestyle in California with Meghan Markle. The Duke of Sussex is Lena, Tindall and Zara’s daughter’s godfather, although their relationship is said to have cooled post their move to Montecito.
Tindall, a decorated rugby player, achieved significant success during his career, including winning the 2003 Rugby World Cup with the England squad and multiple Six Nations championships. His connection with Zara blossomed during the 2003 Rugby World Cup in Australia, leading to their engagement and subsequent marriage in 2011.
The couple currently resides at Aston Farm on Princess Anne’s expansive Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire with their three children. Their cozy abode, a renovated Grade II listed farmhouse, is in close proximity to Anne’s primary royal residence.
